I joined this site a while back, but I hadn’t felt up to posting until now. This is my red, long-haired Dachshund that I got from the shelter. Her name was Jackie May. She was 10 years old when I got her, with epilepsy, seizures, bad teeth, and matted hair. After 5 years of love and care, she was leading a happy life, although she had developed diabetes and required insulin shots twice per day.
Some back story: Last spring, my husband brought home a German Shepherd mix from the same shelter. I wasn’t thrilled, but he absolutely loved that dog, so we adopted him. We enrolled him in classes, and he learned many manners. He did remain toy aggressive.
Last summer, that big dog attacked and killed little Jackie. My heart breaks anew every day. I’m having such a hard time dealing with this. We still have the Shepherd, and my husband still loves him in spite of the pain of losing Jackie. I just can’t feel the same way. Jackie was my luvvie, and I don’t know how to handle this situation.

I would like to hear how some of you would handle my situation. I am full of love for animals, and I need to figure out a way to forgive the killer dog. How would you do it? Thanks.
